Visit to Worthington PL, they have a new library in NW part of town. Had lunch at Clarmont Steak House, their 50th year, a BIG bowl of bean soup. Drove by Thurber's house on Jefferson Street. Another time we will try to find that "herb garden." Talked with the Larry Hunts [?] in Aldi's, their son is moving to the "gold area of California." Bought bunch of pop for the Shaffer get together tomorrow. 8pm and Jean is in bed, hope she is better tomorrow.

HH added in 2010: In 1992 I was guardian for Dorothy Ann Terrell and it was up to me to send her a check every month from her funds and with power to send extra $ if I thought it was necessary. She was always having an emergency AND the need for extra money. She reported me to the state ethics commission (they never found anything wrong) whenever I said no to requests for the extra funds.

Rosemary was her half-sister who married Dr. Irwin Smith who was high up in Abbott Drug.
